This may make the reading a bit easier. You will not be tested on this book, and even the chapters that I say to read carefully should be read fairly quickly. Take notes only when you find something utterly fascinating. WWe'll talk about this at the museum on Thursday.
Read the intro carefully, especially noticing the role of Hirsch and Bloom in this story.
Read Chapter One quickly, skimming for the general story of post-revolutionary history. Read page 51, the long paragraph, carefully.
Read Chapter Two carefully, noticing the way the “battle for memory” produced certain kinds of stories. What is the Lost Cause myth? Read page 90 and 91 carefully.
Skim chapter 3. Read the middle paragraph on page 117 carefully. Read the middle paragraph on page 134.
Read Chapter 4 carefully.
Read Chapter 5 carefully. How does history become a legal issue?
Skim Chapter 6
Read Chapter 7 carefully.
